Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

The musicianship on here is unquestionable and you can clearly see the quality the group possess but it feels a little bit unrefined to be classed as their greatest ever work. There is just too much on here that I would argue could be cut out with a lot of the second half feeling a bit empty at times. A long album shouldn't feel like a slog to get through but unfortunately this record really feels like that with it dragging on for quite a significant amount of time. However, the instrumentals on this album are fantastic and the group showcase their individual skillsets very effectively. The percussion and guitars are excellent and Peter Gabriel's voice adds so much to the music on here as well and every time it appears it makes my attention come straight back onto the music. Overall, there is some outstanding moments on here but I would argue you have to endure the weaker tracks and elongated run time to experience this which drags the record down a lot for me.
My favorite rock album ever
Great live record
A long but still thoroughly enjoyable album. It weaves and loses track of its vision in some parts so I wouldn't rank it as high as the second best Genesis album, but its certainly still top of the line progressive rock!
This is such an amazing album, definitely the best Genesis album, Carpet Crawlers is the biggest highlight bit truly there are no bad songs here, all of them create an almost movie album experience. It's hard for that long album to maintain to be interesting to the end, but as fas as It started I felt that these are the ending credits to the album. Generally great, instrumentals always slick, obly vocals are sometimes annoying.
incredible prog rock

It's a stunning record, hardly anything bad about it. It stands the test of time too. Lyrically it can be hard going as the storyline isn't immediately accessible but the level of musicianship is beyond question. A fabulous piece of work.
A great, very rewarding Genesis album. It contains the best material the band ever wrote. But it's flawed too, and a little frustrating. Half of the songs could be left out and it would make no difference. A little overrated but still very good.

Fase de ouro do Genesis dando seu melhor! As mudanças de estrutura e ritmo são fantásticas.
It's hard to tell if it's their best, as there are many contenders, but it's definitely their grandest achievement.
